ULTRAFAN - The future of jet engines

In this video we will get acquainted with one of the most ambitious projects of modern aircraft engine building.

The Rolls-Royce Ultrafan is a project to create a family of new-generation aircraft engines, initiated by the British Rolls-Royce company in the mid-2010s. The project is based on the currently implemented Advance3 program, which involves upgrading the current Rolls-Royce Trent family with the introduction of a number of new solutions: 3D printing of parts, ceramic matrix composites and lean burn combustion. The Ultrafan, being a continuation of the Advance3 program, involves further development of technologies: the introduction of a gearbox, the creation of a new composite fan, as well as the redesign of the engine layout to bring it to an optimal level. If implemented, the Rolls-Royce Ultrafan will become the basis for a whole family of new engines that will be able to replace most of the modern line of power plants for airliners of various types: from small medium-range models to the largest long-range ones.
